Homegrown Music Festival

The Homegrown Music Festival is an annual community celebration of the original and diverse music of Duluth, Minn. and its surrounding communities. What started in 1999 with five acts has matured in its 20th year to an eight-day community-wide local music, arts and cultural extravaganza.

Beyondbliss

David Kittelson describes his alt hip-hop act Beyondbliss as “new age Eminem minus the drugs and women-beating.” Kittelson has been at it for 15 years, releasing albums, singles, mix tapes and TV show season-recap raps. The most recent work is, Rap Kerouac, a five-track EP of travel songs reflective of journeys through more than 40 states. After last year’s Homegrown, Kittelson embarked on the “Homeless Romantic Tour,” a month-long trip filled with performances on the West Coast. Some of the artists Beyondbliss has shared the bill with over the years include Eyedea, Tech N9ne, Immortal Technique, Mac Lethal, Sage Francis and Yelawolf.
